No. 32 seed Magda Linette came from 6-1, 4-3 down to defeat qualifier Maria Sakkari in the Internazionali BNL d'Italia second round -- having lost to the Greek player in straight sets at the same stage of Madrid two weeks previously. Linette will take on No. 3 seed Coco Gauff in the third round -- Gauff leads their head-to-head 2-1, but Linette won their most recent meeting at 2025 Miami.
